Options that matter on site

Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
Shelters and seals. Retractable, inflatable or foam shelters around the trailer.

Typical scopes of work

Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.

Loading bay safety in Wales

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Penarth the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Planning the work around your site

Most installations in Penarth can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
